Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 208 Pirate Army

Humanity's originally deformed cultural market has returned to normal levels with the invasion of Quila Quilak's cultural products.

In terms of political opinions, because the people of Kuilak were washed in egalitarianism in advance, the integration of the people on both sides was relatively smooth.

Gradually, the second capital of mankind went from being quiet and uninhabited to being prosperous and bustling in just one year.

A large number of merchant ships traveled to and from Ideal City, and the population soon reached the 4000 billion mark.

In terms of prosperity, it has gradually become the most important trade hub in this region.

What followed was pirate plunder again and again.

In the busy Toronto space station, the staff responsible for trade dispatch lay exhausted at their posts.

The screen in front of him displayed the number of trade fleets currently traveling from the Republic of Quillak to Nova via the Toronto Galaxy via Wormhole 008.

This is an extremely exaggerated number. Anyway, he has never seen so many ships in his long time of managing trade routes.

The universe is very big, and although they have tried their best to manage it, there are still reports of merchant ships being attacked by pirates from various places.

Now that this trade route has goods worth 200 trillion energy coins, it seems natural that it will be coveted by pirates.

"Xiao Wang, don't be lazy."

Someone from behind hit him on the head.

Wang Shinan covered his head and turned away, but it was his boss.

"Director, I have really reached my limit. There are countless ships passing by on this trade route every minute. Although 550W has processed the data and sent it to me, it is really too much. I Some of them are hard to see.”

As he spoke, Wang Shinan continued to complain.

"And hasn't artificial intelligence been upgraded from a quantum computer to a quantum zero-energy computer? The results calculated by his computing power should not be wrong. Why do we have to go through it again?"

Seeing that the other party started to complain again, the supervisor had to hit the other party on the head again.

"You do what you want. Artificial intelligence is good, but now you have discovered that artificial intelligence is not so simple. You don't know that after we entered the soaring stage a few years ago, artificial intelligence's overreach How frequent the behavior becomes.”

"Ah? 550W really did a lot of things that violated the order, so why is it not reported in the society?"

"Reports will cause panic. It's good for you and me to know. And we can't do without artificial intelligence. Without artificial intelligence, how can we manage hundreds of billions of people."

"That's not to say that. If artificial intelligence really has a very bad impact, it will still be reported. Why haven't I heard about it once?"

Wang Shinan asked doubtfully, obviously just to be lazy and chatting, he started to talk nonsense again.

550W has processed the information simply enough and sent it to him for authorization.

But the volume was too much. Even if he didn't read the content at all, he would be too weak to hit the OK button like crazy.

What's more, that's not allowed. He must read every word before he can click OK, otherwise the position setting will be meaningless.

"This is really strange. Artificial intelligence has indeed done a lot of overstepping its authority, but they are all trivial things. No one knows what he wants to do, but what is known is that he has become increasingly disobedient. .”

While chatting, the two of them talked about the increasing number of pirates recently.

They all felt that there was something unusual about these pirates.

Although it is normal for such a high-value trade route to attract pirates to covet it, this is too organized and planned.Rather than being pirates, it is more like an army of pirates frantically plundering their trade routes.

After chatting for a few words, the supervisor hit the other person on the head for the third time.

Because if he doesn't work, the things he needs to work on will only become more tiring and tiring, and the things he needs to do will not be reduced just because he stops here to chat with him.

And when he returned to work, a matter that required him to make an urgent decision soon appeared on the screen.

"Sea, pirates, pirates with 300 battleships!"

Wang Shinan almost instinctively shouted so loudly that a look of horror appeared on his face.

"No, this pirate is coming for us. Hurry up and call the nearest fleet. The Toronto Space Station is under attack, the Toronto Space Station is under attack!"

The originally dull atmosphere in the space station suddenly became tense, and people continued to send warning messages to surrounding ships as planned.

The Toronto Space Station is located in the middle of the trade route and is responsible for the protection of the trade route.

Around the galaxy he was in, there was basically no possibility of trade routes being plundered.

Because as soon as pirates appear around the space station, they will be detected, and then the space station will issue instructions to mobilize the fleet to eliminate them.

Therefore, if you want to better plunder the trade routes, you must destroy this space station.

Without the giant tachyon sensor on the space station to completely scan the surrounding galaxies, the human fleet will not know when and where the enemy appears.

If you want to know the information about pirates, you can only wait for the merchant ship to detect the pirate fleet ahead and then rush over. Then it will be too late.

It takes a short time for pirates to destroy a merchant ship and take away all the goods.

The opponent's pirate ships are no worse than the regular human army, which results in many times being unable to catch up.

It can only be done through the tachyon sensor of the space station. As soon as the pirates jump to this galaxy through the hyperspace engine, they will be immediately discovered and destroyed.

Once the Toronto space station falls, the entire trade route will become a carnival for pirates.

Generally speaking, the detection range of the space station is very long, and the fleet can arrive at the station before the other party reaches the space station.

But I don’t know what black technology or natural environment the other party used.

It was only discovered after 300 battleships and countless small boats jumped to the edge of this galaxy.

This resulted in the Toronto Space Station not having enough time to bring back the dispatched fleet.

And after all, the fleets that can be mobilized by them are actually frigates.

Frigates are fast, and the important thing in fighting pirates is not strength, but speed.

After all, the opponents are mainly broken ships, using guerrilla tactics to attack merchant ships.

Once faced with a frigate, it will almost be crushed.

And the 300 battleships whizzing in front of them kept jumping to this galaxy. The obviously brand-new hulls were painted with pirate skulls and skulls and underwent various distressing treatments.

But are there really any pirates with 300 battleships?
This is not even acting.
